The Sculpture area encourages flexible, creative sculptural responses as informed by individual experience. Courses aim to use sculpture as a medium that encourages an open exchange of ideas, facilitates communications and nurtures discovery through play and research. Courses also introduce computer-aided design with a fabrication component to facilitate the conception and transformation of sculptural concepts from the cyber world to the real world.
Critiques and discussions are a major part of all studio courses. All students are encouraged to explore all areas of the school as sculpture is an inclusive practice.
Sculpture facilities include welding facilities with eight oxy-acetylene stations, four arc welders, one heliarc, three MIGs, one plasma arc cutter, a horizontal and a vertical band saw, drill press, a gas forge and a jump shear and finger break. The wood shop is fully equipped with lathes, band and table saws, a joiner, planer, sanders, air-powered chisels and grinders, and portable tools and equipment. The plaster studio provides supplies and materials to make plaster piece molds and rubber as well as work in direct plaster.
For more information about the Sculpture area, contact Fritz Buehner.
